A.D. Amorosi Seventy years since his first Capitol Records sessions for the single “Lean Baby” and the “Songs for Young Lovers” 10″ album… 62 years since his first Reprise LP, “Ring-a-Ding-Ding!”… and 25 years since his passing, the legend of Frank Sinatra still looms large.
Starting with today’s release of his “Platinum” compilation of hits and never-before-heard rarities, the decade-long process of Universal Music Group’s merging of Sinatra’s Capitol and Reprise catalogs begins in earnest in celebration of The Voice and those initial Capitol sessions in Los Angeles.
“It is as if this is one big Frank Sinatra record label with UMe,” said Charles Pignone, who is the longtime head of the Sinatra Society of America fan club, the senior VP of Frank Sinatra Enterprises, and a curator who knows where each hidden tape lives. “We’re not out to reinvent anything when we do these reissues and special projects.
What we have to work with, in the first place, is wonderful.” The intuitive intimacy of Ol’ Blue Eyes’ aesthetic is also currently on display in London with “Sinatra: The Musical,” a song-strewn new theatrical work based on his life and career scripted by two-time Tony winner Joe DiPietro, directed and choreographed by three-time Tony winner Kathleen Marshall, and produced by Michele Anthony, Bruce Resnikoff and Scott Landis (Universal Music Group Theatrical), with Tina Sinatra and Pignone serving as producers on behalf of Frank Sinatra Enterprises. “Sinatra: The Musical” is due on Broadway some time in the new year.
